[b][i]Guts - Konoha Outskirts[/i][/b]

With Konoha decimated by multiple tons of rotting flesh falling onto it, and the subsequent fallout as the surviving residents of its entrails began to crawl forth, the time was ripe.

It was ripe for the Akatsuki to make their move.

Guts looked overhead as several shadowy figures leaping overhead, dressed in long, cloudy robes. One stood out, resembling a giant plant. As soon as Guts stared at it, his Brand tore open, and a fresh trickle of blood leaked out. This was no doubt a powerful apostle, and he landed on a nearby building to observe the whale apostle Guts had just murdered.
Climbing a ladder, Guts stood on top of a slightly taller building. This would work. Guts took a few steps back, and sprinted forward. His muscles pumped, and his legs propelled all several hundred pounds of weight flying off the side of the building. His right hand reached over his shoulder, and swung the Dragonslayer with enough speed to turn him forward in midair.

"Oh, Zetsu! Do you think Deidara-sama would be proud of me if I caught the Jinchuriki?!" Tobi said, before he was interrupted by a terrible crash and a splatter of gore. Looking to his side, he saw half of Black Zetsu twitch towards him, and a one-eyed man lift an impossibly large sword over his shoulder, staring him down with a look of contempt.

"Z-Zetsu!" he shouted. "MANGEKYO SHARINGAN: KAMUI." A shadowy energy spiraled forth from the orange mask, and consumed Guts.

The Black Swordsman found himself in a new world, one pitch black with a floor made of white cubes. This wasn't good. It reminded him of a much tamer eclipse.

X sat almost motionless as he sifted through various reports, reports he decided he would read later until they all loaded. However he paused as a camera feed on another agent came up. The automatic recording AI had reported an event about a giant carcass materializing right above a town, this caught his attention as dozens of people began running around in panic. Then multiple figure's in coats entered the area as well, but the bigger human cut down one of them and was seemingly killed by the other. Rewinding the recording X studied the attack. [i]He has an audio cue? I'll watch out for that then[/i]. Tapping a button on the console X began to speak on the general radio frequency. "I've got action at some place called Konoha, a giant corpse has landed on a town I could use some help with the cleanup. There's also a fight in progress, I think I'll need back up."

Finally standing up X made his way to the teleport pads. Talking to the man running the station X told him he needed to got to Konoha, approaching the brightly colored pads. "I'm ready." Nodding his head the teleport manager flipped a couple switches to account for X's machine body and sent him on his way. X disappeared in a blue light, and moments later reappeared in small town. Launching himself up on top of a rooftop he began to search for the man. [i]It hasn't been long, he should still be here[/i].
